4n70n1n0's 1998 GT- 02/2010 - One step closer - EJ251's

[4n70n1n0]

UPDATED AND FIXED!

Hello SLi
I've disappeared because of much BS in the forum, but I'm not here to start trouble or to tell no one how to do their job. I'm just here to have fun ^__^

I NO LONGER MAKE THE AVATARS! Sorry!!!

This is the history of my BD5 - N/Aontherun

This is how she began - Just like your gramp's legacy GT and YES! Green too

02/27/2009 - Rota's

Just got myself a nice deal on some Rota Torque's

17x8 - yes, my fenders are going to have to get a roll treatment, but they look SOOOO good on.

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/9a6d455825.jpg

They are going to get painted GOLD soon

Once it gets warm I'll get better pics

I've also over the few weeks painted my intake pipe gold, installed the ECMPro Power Chip and fixed a few little issues with the radiator shroud. Now it sits alot better.

3/14/09

How the wheels looked like before a rattle can treatment :grin:

Front and rear fenders had to be rolled. I have no fender liner in the front. No scraping issues ^__^

I want to spray the inside of both my rear and front fender with under carriage paint or truck bed liner

03/21

Sti Wing is out for now. The screw holes wore out the thread on it so the screw just slides.

Painted my hood and trunk flat black. FcUk Carbon Fiber ^__^

New pics and new lip :grin: The lip idea is thanks to our Subaru_Terrence and his 3rd Gen group of friends that started rocking that Type R lip first, but here I AM to start the trend for the 2nd Gens

Yes I scrape this lip EVERYWHERE!!!

01/08/2010

So I've been keeping you guys in the dark... kinda

I have two sets of dual port EJ22 heads. So 4 heads in total... yes I love head :smt005

I'ma try to PnP one of the heads myself. Whats the worse that can happen? I have an extra set

Noone wanted to by my wheels. So I'ma keep'em and paint them another color
I've started to strip the paint off of them

http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ZySyDMAaGN4/SzsdBAzOTwI/AAAAAAAAAVM/hzprZQ7BNZQ/s400/P1030217.JPG

I took advantage of the Delta Cams holiday prices and jumped on it.

I'm no longer going to be using a EJ25D block(For my franken motor). I scored a great deal on a EJ251 engine. Yes, the complete engine. It's such a good price that when I sell the EJ251 heads and other misc parts. I will break even and make alittle money lol

Type R lip is GONE! It broke even more on the places that I bolted it and lets just say. The lip didn't like how I drove into parking lots or the fact that it was a plow in the snow. lol

02/2010

I'm one step closer in my franken motor build

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZySyDMAaGN4/S16MRZpPiiI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/60K-DSPjYUk/s400/2010-01-24+19.56.51b.jpg

I got the block now

I found a local guy that was selling two EJ251's for cheap, but you had to take'em both

So I bought'em both

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZySyDMAaGN4/S16MQzSTtRI/AAAAAAAAAZk/5Sf_RXPyoZc/s400/2010-01-24+19.56.02.jpg

One has a good bottom end, but bad heads. Which is the I'll be using for the build

The other had a bad bottom end and good heads, which I will be parting out for cheap soon

I've got the EJ22 heads, Delta Cams, EJ251 Block. Now I just need to do the work :grin:

I'm hoping for it to be running and tuned by Dec.2010 and hopefully owning a different car to daily. I feel that this motor is too much of a X factor for me to daily it. So once this baby goes in, I'll need to have a different car to daily and this car will be AutoX and Track use only.

Look out for the exterior to get some changes too in the down force area.

[ryu_haneda]

Hey hey, another green gt... welcome... great pics. I need to get my BD in good shape... replaced a burnt out fog today and I'll probably be sanding and repainting my gt skirts and front/rear bumpers in the spring (I could repaint them now, but winter cometh).

Once again, welcome, and great car! Have a great fall/winter season... I'm looking forward to snow myself. :grin:

[4n70n1n0]

I installed my JDM headlights and painted my grill black. I don't have a badge because I broke it when I was trying to paint it.

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/BlackGrillOn.jpg

I just got JDM tails

[ryu_haneda]

Did the badge literally break physically, or is it only like the backing is messed up, or is the front of the badge is messed up?

[4n70n1n0]

I broke two pieces off of the edge, while I was taking it off. Then I messed that whole badge, because I was trying to get the silver paint off of the stars and I got some paint on the front, but I'm going to worry about it. I'm getting a new grill. JDM Green L7 Badge :grin: (Can't wait to get it)

[4n70n1n0]

I just painted my Aero Guards - Black
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/AeroGuardsPainted00s.jpg

Just got my JDM Green L7 Grill few days ago
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/JDMGreenL7Grills.jpg

A nice snow shot of my BD ^_^
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/2ndSnow03s.jpg

I just got some JDM Amber Side Markers and bought a JDM short shift linkage from Artemadorous

I still have to install my JDM tails, Aero guards, Amber Side Marker, short shift linkage. I'm going to wait until the spring for me to install them, it's too cold to work in my car.

[2.5GT]

it's never too cold, go outside now!! :lol:

I wanna see these mudgards...

[4n70n1n0]

If it was just something like the Amber Side Markers. I would be out in the cold installing it, but I want to install as much at once as I can. Since the Aero Guards kinda require me to unbolt the inner fender lining and so does that Amber Side markers I was thinking to install it together. Also the Aero Gurads need STRONG double sided tape. Since it's cold the double sided tape wont get it's full grip and I might have to redo it later and same thing with the tails. After I get through all of black sealing goo that hold the Tails in place, I need to silicone seal the JDM tails in place and just as the double sided tape the cold won't allow the silicone to seal properly. As far as the short shift linkage I might get my mechanic to do it.

It's only because of the double sided tape and the silicone, other then that I would be out in the cold installing it :grin:

In another random note, I might move into a house with a buddy of mine and it has a two car garage, but we might only get one side, but we are going to fight to see if we can get both sides. If we do get it, I won't have to worry about my Father seeing what I'm doing to my car and I'll have a garage to work in :grin: :grin: :grin:

[4n70n1n0]

I haven't been here in FOREVER. This is what happened

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/HnR00.jpg

Someone hit me and ran. I have no idea who.

I primered all of the exposed body and I haven't had the money to fix it.

It doesn't look that bad until you try to place new tails in and they don't go in.

The Fucker nailed my car pretty hard. and it bent the tail housing .

My trunk got bent off alligment
That filler panel was a pain to find and I just got it after 3 months of bugging almost every junk yard in CT and Ebay for it.

The AutoBody shop quoted $500 for everything 2 months ago, i don't know now.

I lost interest in the car and almost sold it for an impreza

Decided to keep it because the Impreza RS had 50K miles more than my BD and the guy hadn't done the HG.

My car gave me some over heating problems a week ago, Thank GOD it was just the radiator cap, but I haven't had it up to 100MPH since.

I need to save money to do the HG S00N.

That's the update GUYS and GIRLS

I don't want to sell it, but my plans for it have been cut to a smaller list. ^_^

Plan to get a FC or a RPS13 for a project car

Daily Drivers should not be used for Project Cars

PEACE
-4N7

[ryu_haneda]

Sorry to hear about the hit and run. My car's been through a series of things over the past couple of years of ownership:

* Bought car August 2006
* Week after buying car - Main seal, new timing belt
* September 2006 - blown engine (replaced with a remanufactured EJ25 with the new headgaskets)

* December 2006 - heat shields cut, weird episode where car stalled (linked to a loose sensor - fixed)

* March 2008 - Check engine light for catalytic converter - new converter ordered with new O2 sensor

When the car was purchased it looked like it had been fixed up from a fender bender (I know because the right front turn signal does not sit flush with the headlights, frame damage)

God bless you in all you do and your future projects. To be honest, I briefly thought about selling my legacy when I got told I had to replace my cat converter (dealer wanted 900 bucks for the job), I sourced the parts and I estimate the repair at my long-time repair shop close to home will be about 3 to 400 bucks less.

If I would have sold my gt, I would have tried to go for a Forester or GC chassis Impreza. I think I'll hold on to it some more (although I was liking the idea of having an Outback wagon... what can you do? :grin: ).

Later!

[Reason]

I have a new panel extension from Subaru. I have to check what side it is for. If you are interested shoot me a pm.

[blackmedal]

Damn man, you have been through a lot with your Leg. Keep your spirits up.

If you do plan on moving on, I am very interested in those aero guards. LMK.

[4n70n1n0]

TO THE SHOP WE GO!

Okay.

Finally my BD(HITOMI) is going to the shop this Thrusday.

The guy quoted me $300

I also got some STi Floor Mats knockoff's on eBay.
-I'm going to bleach the STi and color it GREEN
--I got the idea off of ---> shizznats's floor mats (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?t=7144)

Okay I owe everyone pics when I get Hitomi back. ^_^

Oh Yeah! I got a suprise too. I not might have it installed by the time I take the pics, but I'll post it once I get it installed. In the mean time I'm not going to say what it is :grin:

[2.5GT]

$300? not bad at all.

and put them mudguards on!...i wanna see what it'll look like :eek:

[d1giPhux]

+1 on the mudguard.. i wanna see them as well! I wonder if they actually protect from flying rocks and such.. i might just make a pair soon.

Nice quote on the paint / body work too.. everyone around here wants more than that just to paint my front bumper. They say its 'too much work' to sand it down and paint it.. whatever.

Hope you get everything back to normal.. do you have some tail lights your going to put in when you get it fixed?

Good luck man!

[4n70n1n0]

Mudguards are going in REALLY soon. The weather is just right, not I just need to get my ass off my bed on Sunday to do them. I want to paint my lips and skirts primer black. The same primer black I used on my mudguards. Hope I can do my mudguards this weekend.

They are going to install my JDM tail lights in.

[d1giPhux]

BTW.. i wonder how the HELL someone hit u that high up on ur car.. musta been a truck or something.

[4n70n1n0]

I think so too. They left me no paint from their car/truck. So I think it was a truck with a smooth metal bumper. I looked for days for some truck or suv, but even if I find it. I can't incriminate no one without evidence(no witnesses).

[4n70n1n0]

I got my STiFloor mats knockoffs

I bleached the STi (Didn't do a nice job as I thought
After I bleached it I SHARPYED the STi into STi

But I like it. I got to color it again, because I didn't dry all of the bleach off so now i have bright green spots on my STi

I'll post pics once s00n

[4n70n1n0]

Totally forgot to update everyone

I got her back from the shop and she looks beautiful

They did an awesome job for $300

It as one little flaw but it's because it was where it was hit, but she will never be back to 100% perfect condition.

JDM tails installed, trunk closes fine now and no more water in the trunk ^_^

Pics soon to come. I have to go to the car wash on Saturday and take a drive to fine a nice pic spot

[2.5GT]

Nice!!! anymore shots of the HIDs?

[4n70n1n0]

I have another picture of the HID's but it's hard to take pictures of them. It might be my camera though. I want to take my BD out tomorrow night and see if I can get some nice night shots.

Well see, my camera sucks so I have to deal with it.

I'm debating if I should get a DSLR or other things for the BD

[Reason]

Two vise grips will take those bolts off. I would spray the shit out of them all day. Then the next day take a crack at it. I changed my axle back on a 15 min break at my old job. Jack up to clean up, you just need the right tools for the job.

[Huffer]

Heat the bolts after applying PB blaster, but give it a few seconds as it is flammable....

[4n70n1n0]

I thought about heating them, but I have no tourch

I'm taking it to my mechanic tomorrow and also going to see if he can install my short shift linkage

[2.5GT]

where the mudflaps!!??!? :lol:

[PA-Outback2000]

what's a DSLR? where did u get the HID's? what kind of exhaust is it? do full exhaust, strut bar, and rear sway bar to start. then, if u have the money upgrade more. turbo conversion/swap, cams, coilovers, etc

[Shep2112]

If you can set the camera to manual mode (or as many things as you can make manual), that may help your pics. Otherwise, hold the shutter halfway down looking away from the car to grab the exposure level of that, and then turn back at the car while holding the shutter still, and snap a pic. That should keep your brightness looking good, instead of shutting down because of the bright lights. :)

Make sure you aim at something the same distance as your car is, to keep the focus set to the right distance though. ;)

Car and green STis look nice. I wonder if I can do the same with my Outback Limited mats? :)

[4n70n1n0]

where the mudflaps!!??!? :lol:

I knew someone was going to ask ^_^

I was going to put them on, but I can't find the returner clips long enough to hold them on. I am going to put double sided tap, but I was the clips for security for the snow days. I was actually waiting on you since I could not find the clips to see how you were going to do it :grin:


what's a DSLR? where did u get the HID's? what kind of exhaust is it? do full exhaust, strut bar, and rear sway bar to start. then, if u have the money upgrade more. turbo conversion/swap, cams, coilovers, etc A DSLR is a high end digital camera, kinda like that ones that the paparazis use.

HID's - I bought them off a friend of mine that left the country. He had them on his BG and he bought the his BG with them on. I have no idea where he got them, but Reason from here can get you some.

Full exhaust - Nah, I'm just going to do me SPT axle-back

Strut bars and Rear Sway Bars are on their way

I did want coilovers, but I'm just going to do springs and struts. I have RS*R springs coming in and i'm waiting on my tax return money to buy my struts :grin:. I think after I do my suspension and buy some nice wheels I'll be done with this car. It's my daily driver so I can't mod it too much. Plus I got to save money to do my HG's, she's starting to pick up some heat again :evil:

Wish I had manual option on my camera, it's a CHEAP 5MP camera. I'll try to use my mom's camera next time. It's a nicer camera and maybe it will have nicer options or more options then point and shot like mine

[PA-Outback2000]

thanx. already have HID's though!

[4n70n1n0]

!!!FINALLY!!!

Trying to install my SPT axle-back again and nothing. Bolts are rounded and stuck. Gotta cut it off :D nd I finally installed my JDM Aero/Mud Guards

and a final shot to end the day

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y145/antonino/P1000498s.jpg

Oh Yeah! Those are white SPT decals on the rear passenger doors

I've bought JDM projector head lights ^_^ I can't want to see HID's on Projector Headlights

I have to paint my skirts and lips to match the JDM Aero/Mud Guards, but this is later, maybe tuesday. I hope

[2.5GT]

looks good...i painted and installed my aero guards this weekend :grin:

[4n70n1n0]

Did you bolt them? If so What bolts did you use?

[deadlydave]

Looks good. the aero guards are a slick add-on. Well played.

[2.5GT]

Did you bolt them? If so What bolts did you use?

shoots..i forgot what the size was. but it fits the hole perfectly and i used a nut to put on the other end and tighten it down.

and i also used double sided sticky tape.

[4n70n1n0]

For my lose!
I could not find a freaking bolt that would hold and by the time I thought about using a nut they were in already

I used A LOT, I mean a lot of double sided tape and I siliconed the edges so no water or dirt can get to my tapes ^_^

I hope they don't come off, but they might have to. When I lower my car.
or maybe it's a good thing that they are their so I can't lower my car TOO much.

[4n70n1n0]

OK

SPT axle back installed, but it looks ODD
It sticks out. Is that right? I checked out d1giPhux's BD and I can't tell is his sticks out too. Is it possible that I was sent the wagon axle back ? ? ?(Help Please)

My springs arrived RS*R lowering springs. I don't know when these are going on though. I might wait to get new struts first

[2.5GT]

It's probably for a wagon, where the tip of the muffler sticks out way farther. you can have it done at a muffler shop, tell them to shorten the tip.

go check out my pics, they fit perfect :eek:

[Kris]

where you guys buy those aero mudguards? i want one too.
btw
they look good :)

Crazy thing. I kinda like the tip sticking out now. I know odd, but yeah. It also makes my car one more thing uniquer then the next BD, you know?

one word . . . actually peson andivic
PM him and see if he has any(most likely not) It's possible that you will be put on a waiting list for them. They are like Wii's last christmas
but if you do come across them try to get them quick because they GO! FAST!

I know deadlydave had some once. PM him and see if he still has them. I believe this are already painted too

I doesn't look that bad.

Sorry no pics of my SPT axle back sticking out yet. I was just excited that I lowered my car.

Random FYI - This is my first car that I lowered. All of my other cars never got a change to lower them

[dplacencia]

Looks good.

[Huffer]

Stand back 10ft.

[2.5GT]

yeah go back a bit :lol:

and saggy butt? no?

[WinterKnoll]

Woah shit that thing is low. Looks good.

[4n70n1n0]

Yeah, I love how it looks. That's RS*R love right there.

I don't think it has a saggy butt, but new pics coming soon.

I also installed my JDM Black Housing Projectors and HID's on them.

It looks awesome. Pics coming soon and I'll step back about 10 ft ^_^

[d1giPhux]

looking at your exhaust.. thats really isnt sticking out as much as i thought it would be. When they sent me the wrong exhaust (wagon type), mine stuck out a lot further than that..

Looks not too bad actually! How do you like those springs you just put in? How do they feel?

[sharky nrk]

looks sharp - definately dropped quite a bit - get some struts ;)

[Huffer]

looking at your exhaust.. thats really isnt sticking out as much as i thought it would be. When they sent me the wrong exhaust (wagon type), mine stuck out a lot further than that..

That pic was posted by decke... and it is the BD SPT exhaust, not the BG/BK, so it's the correct fitment.

[4n70n1n0]

I like the way the springs ride. I have not taken her to any back roads to test the handling, but I don't think I am anytime soon. The ride is smoother then I expected.

Yeah that pics of the exhaust was not my car, just as Huffer stated that's Decke's. Mine sticks out and you can see the 2.5GT engraved on it

Yeah, planning in getting new struts in this week or next

[SLIKID99]

dude i saw your car in the rest stop on the way to Hot import nights....i was with my buddy and his integra so i didnt think you would believe me if i had a BD..haha nice ride the lights are nice

[4n70n1n0]

You should have said what's up.
Was I leaving when you saw my car?
You should have waved me down. I would stop and I would believe you if you told me you had a BD specially if you said "I'm a member at SLi"

We need to get that North East Meet going or do a small CT meet

[4n70n1n0]

Some new Pics - JDM Black Housing Projetor Headlights with 8000K HID's

These headlights are what I always wanted on my BD. After searching months before buying my first pair of headlights I thought that Black housing projectors never existed until I saw them on eBay. Immediately I emailed Andivic and he got me pair

These pictures were taken with and without flash

Already for the meet. Also painted my fog's yellow

[DOOK]

I love the look of the car...

[4n70n1n0]

Thanks, wait and see when I get new pics in.

[Mikey97D]

Painting the snow flakes gold is going to look great on your car!

[Huffer]

You should have taken the weights off and had them rebalanced using the stick on adhesive weights. That's what I did, and it means the frontside of the wheel isn't marred by weights clipped on.
$20 at Walmart to do.

[4n70n1n0]

DAMN! totally forgot about the weights

what can i do? Sei la vi! That's life!

[2.5GT]

yeah..set the sticky weight inside the wheel. much better appearance :eek:

[4n70n1n0]

The weights are going to stay. If I take'em off the old color is going to show. I don't mine them

I have to buy myself a nicer camera or keep taking my moms.

I absolutely love those black housing headlights... was that homemade or did some jdm projectors just come like that? awesome looking... i might attempt to do that myself with my headlights.

[4n70n1n0]

Mine came like that. I looked for these FOREVER!, but Legacy (https://sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?t=8614)'s is home made. See if he can give you some tips to go by. It would look f'n awesome on ur BD

Andivic told that these a rare, but if you want he can probably find some. Who knows ^_^

[Huffer]

man your camera sucks.
Have you tried standing still when you take pics?

I think white snowflakes would look better than gold, harder to keep clean though.

[2.5GT]

Nice! it came a long way :eek:

and how hard was it to install the momo steering wheel?

[4n70n1n0]

man your camera sucks.

+1000

Yeah, I've tried everything. This things sux ass. I have to save my money and buy a Nikon D40



I think white snowflakes would look better than gold, harder to keep clean though.

I've never seen white snowflakes. I do agree tho, but I don't like white wheels. Hard to keep clean.

[2.5GT]

word of advice. clear coat them and never use any detergent or solvent..to clean the wheels with. you'll strip the clear coat and the wheel color will look so dull and faded. same thing happen to mine..

[4n70n1n0]

Nice! it came a long way :eek:

and how hard was it to install the momo steering wheel?

It was extremely easy. You just need the right tools. All you need is a philips screw driver, a hex screw driver and a steering wheel pull toll(don't know what it's called), a ratchet tool and a strong arm.

1. Disconnect the (-) Negative cable from ur battery.
- You don't want a punch on the face from the air bag. TRUST ME!

2. Use the HEX screw driver to remove the air bag. Those are the side bolts that

3. Disconnect the bitchy harness from the air bag

4. Unscrew the BIG bolt in the middle

5. Use the steering wheel pull toll to pull the wheel

6. Remove the cruise control

7. Punch out the hole for the cruise on the JDM wheel and nicely cut the leather

8. Install the Cruise Control on the JDM wheel

9. Place the JDM wheels in it's new place and give it a good push so it slides down into place

10. Place the BIG bolt back on and tighten it good, but not too hard

11. Reconnect the bitchy air bag harness

12. Tighten the HEX bolts to secure the iair bag in place

13. Step back and give urself a hand shake. You've done it!!!

I think that's it!

SUPER EASY

[4n70n1n0]

DONE! It has two coats of clear coat

Thanks :grin:

[98LGT]

Nice car. I saw that you have yellow H3 highbeam bulbs in your sig, where can i get these?

can you get a different angle pic. where you "punched" out the holes for the cruise control? :lol:

[Reason]

I'm liking how this is coming along, can't wait to see it in person!

The HVAC relocation is tough to look like factory unless you fab up another center surround.

I have a Borla header to throw on as well... might get to that this weekend.

You are going to love how ur BK is going to sound.

I'm not done relocating the climate control yet, but I will have to trim down a bit of that trim piece there.


Now what do you plan on doing with the radio? It wont fit in there with the HVAC. Or do you plan on putting the radio up top?

Im not putting the radio on top. I have something else that will go there.

The Radio I'm going to try and trim down that trim piece and see if I can squeeze a head unit there. If not I'm going to get an AMP to power he speakers and hook a MP3 player to the input on the AMP and snake the wires to the front.

We'll see

Just wait and see

coming soon
- Finish my little project above
- Get a BD stromung mid pipe
- Get a different muffler and have a shop make me a axle back pipping
- Get front and rear Cusco strut tower bars
- Get and see if the Tanabe Front lower brace form a GC will fit
- Get and mod a Rear Lower Cusco brace


I think that is it for now, but most likely I'm forgetting something

I still have to trim the console piece for it to fit the climate control better and I need to actually wire in the head unit and not just have it sit there looking pretty

My upgrades at the moment will be maintenance
-MSD coil
-OEM Spark plug wires
-Pulleys and associated belts
and Heresmymind is going to help me make a home-made grounding kit

These are going to it for now and I'ma see what I can afford when I move out

[Reason]

Cool, but curious, why a Rev speed meter?

[2.5GT]

i like the idea...but def. need some work to get a "clean" install. can't wait til you're finish, and what does that thing do? was it hard to hook up?

[4n70n1n0]

Cool, but curious, why a Rev speed meter?

Cuz it looks cool.

It monitors Speed in Kilo/hour, RPM, Voltage, Trip and since I have the G force sensor it measures the G force on all four corners. Also it measures 0-XXXkph or 0-XXXmeters, estimate power

It's cool little thing, but mostly just for show

It was easy to install, but it was had to find the pinout for the ECU and I still have to guess at somethings and I got it on the first try.

[2.5GT]

do a write up on this little gadget...i might look into this :grin:

[anothernord]

Photobucket dominated your pics, might want to repost em.

[4n70n1n0]

FIXEDTED! See first page

the sti wing is cool....

sdont let anyone tell you differently..

the sticker on the pass. side interior on the other hand :smt011

[2.5GT]

Hey! I wonder where you went :lol:

Car's looking good but you need to clean it a bit! it so dirty :smt005

and how hard was it to install that spoiler? need to drill more holes?

[4n70n1n0]

the sti wing is cool....

sdont let anyone tell you differently..

the sticker on the pass. side interior on the other hand :smt011

THANKS!
Yeah I love the Sti wing

The Wifey doesn't mind so I don't worry bout the sticker. She's a petite little asian chick that weighs about 95lbs to 100lbs so...yeah its cool wit her and she even found it funny :grin:


Hey! I wonder where you went :lol:

and how hard was it to install that spoiler? need to drill more holes?

Yeah she's getting a wash tonite. The constant snow doesn't help

It was SUPER easy. Since it's replica it only has 4 bolts like our stock spoiler, but two of the wholes dont line up so you have to drill two more holes and cover two.

At the moment I'm rocking two bolts and I'll gone over 100MPH (because I forgot that it was there) and it didn't move ^__^

and Thanks for the radiator shroud DIY man!

[2.5GT]

How does the car feel at that speed with the spoiler on? stable or about the same with the regular spoiler on? ..and where you get it at? :grin:

Definitely post more pics of the spoiler, I'm very interested. It's either this or get the 2.5RS spoiler. And I've been trying to find that Gurney flap for the rear spoiler. It's kinda like a lip add on but no luck..looks like I'm going have to fiberglass one :roll:

Yeah, stay tune for another take on the radiator shroud. This time, it's going to be aluminum instead of plastic :lol:

[4n70n1n0]

Personally I didn't feel any difference, but to think of it I do think it's a bit more stable at high speeds now that you mention it.

I'll see if I get her cleaned up ad have a nice day to take her out for some pics. I get lazy and I don't really have any nice places to take pics at here.

I looked into the RS spoiler, but it looks odd on our cars.

See \/

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d07406179c.jpg

http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/5f2f57a1a0.jpg

I ran into the deal with this replica that I got and I couldn't turn it down. The dude had totalled his GC so he was selling everything that he took off that car that didn't get damaged.

Look in rs25.com they sometimes have people selling their replicas there. This one is a V5 spoiler. Personally one the V5 and V6 spoilers look good. The V4 and below are our RS spoilers and the V7's are the Sti that we got.

[2.5GT]

Just take pics at the gas station again :lol:

And the RS spoiler doesn't look too bad, i guess if it's at weird angles yes, but the yellow BD in the second picture doesn't look too bad. Now the more i look at the STi spoiler, the more i want to get it :lol: ....seriously, it's so tempting :smt022

[4n70n1n0]

Do it get the wing. Replicas can go from 200 to 300 bux. ECS in Mass. sells the replicas brand new for a good price. I can't remember what Paul quoted me once, but give them a shout and they'll let you know.

I love takin pics at a gas station. Definitely enough... more then enough lighting

[impreza_GC8]

I am not a big fan of the V5 spoiler on a Legacy. I own an RS Impreza and you can just tell they were meant for the Impreza. They are a bit funky on Legacy. Props for doing something different though.

[4n70n1n0]

I like'em on the GC's, but after I put my V5 on my BD. It belongs on no other car but a BD. I liked it before I go it, but I love it now

Specially when I look in my rear view mirror :grin:

[KAG]

Good to see you again Ant.

I think with some bigger wheels, you could pull off the wing better. That white one in the picture a few posts up looks pretty good with the wheels it has. Snowflakes + V5 wing = Meh :lol:

Car's lookin' great otherwise. I love the stance on the RS*R's.

[4n70n1n0]

rims are in the works. Definitely some 17x7's and in god because I can't rock non less :grin:. I was looking at some kazera snowflakes or some MB Wheels Weapon. Both don't come in gold, but that didn't stop me before :grin: . With the economy in the downhill I really can't get either. I'm concetrating on my bills just in case I get layed off :knocks on wood: God forbid the legacy needs some shoes ya'know? lol I might get her dyno'ed some time in March and I'm going to make sure to have all my power adders installed by then. I want to see what I can get out of my little green monster

The hood, trunk and wing are going to get painted flat balck along wit the aero guards and the lips that's for the late spring early summer

[2.5GT]

Or just paint the whole car flat black ...it would look so sick :eek:

[4n70n1n0]

Don't think it hasn't crossed my mind, but what makes my car my car is that it's just another green legacy nd those a super common. So I wanted to make my comon grampa green legacy different and so I have ask you can all see. the green reminds me of where and what the car was and when I step back and look at it as a whole I look at what lve acomplished ya know?

[2.5GT]

I look at mine and want to kick it even more. I hate backing into things..now there's more scratches on the bumpers, front and rear :roll:

and have you thought of getting a lip made for the car? :grin:

[4n70n1n0]

and have you thought of getting a lip made for the car? :grin:

Have I? OMG! That's the one thing that I need to get to balance that park bench (I like calling my wing that, I don't find it in anyway offensive :grin: ) I've thought about doing the 03 MACH something mustang lip on it that I think Rougeben did or try to find a lip that will just lower the front. I've been playing with a few ideas in my head, but we'll just have to see how this economy will play out.

[2.5GT]

Problem with that lip is that it looks like it's not long enough on the sides, but thanks I'ma def. look into it

Yeah, DIY it :lol: ..and it doesn't look that bad..similar to the Impreza V lip.

Just got myself a nice deal on some Rota Torque's

17x8 - yes, my fenders are going to have to get a roll treatment, but they look SOOOO good on.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2007/11/9a6d455825-1.jpg

They are going to get painted GOLD soon

Once it gets warm I'll get better pics


I've also over the few weeks painted my intake pipe gold, installed the ProECM Power Chip and fixed a few little issues with the radiator shroud. Now it sits alot better.

[Huffer]

I <3 the Torque design... :)

[4n70n1n0]

Yea me too

[Mikey97D]

Looks Great! Looking forward to some daytime pics!

[4n70n1n0]

For now they are going to sit in my basement until it warms up to paint. Then those bad boys are going on. I had a hard time getting myself to take'em off after I tested them on.

[Reason]

Good find, I want those same rims, not sure if I was going to do 17" or 18".

[2.5GT]

More pics will do justice! and what's this ECMPro Power Chip you speak of? :eek:

[4n70n1n0]

Sorry no more pics until they get painted gold in a month

The ProEcm is a piggy back chip for the ECU

http://www.proecm.com/powerchip.htm

I still have a kink that I need to work out of this chip for our Gen legacy's, but I'ma make a write up once it's done and working perfectly.

At the moment I do feel improvement in throttle response and more power through out the whole power band and negative on better gas mileage, but it could be that I'm having too much fun with the power gain I got.

wow, this little device cost around $300 and only adds 4hp/7ftlb torque?

Front and rear fenders had to be rolled. I have no fender liner in the front. No scraping issues ^__^

I want to spray the inside of both my rear and front fender with under carriage paint or truck bed liner

[Huffer]

You should go wingless. I think it would look better. :D

Nice wheels, looks like you did a nice job on the paint!

[subba]

i love the wing :p

[henryq89]

screw that the WING IS SEXY lol... lol...the rims look awesome to rota's?

are u ever in new york man? lol

[TheAngryPidgeon]

I think the wing off of Dodik's H6 Sedan would look epic on this ride. Those rims came out great.

[subaru13]

dude get read of that wing it looks ridiculous and takes away from the whole look of the car....there's a reason Subaru never put that big of a wing on any of the legacy's

[4n70n1n0]

The wing is here to stay. I love it! I love the added grip that I got from the wider wheels and tires. thanks all for the comments.

[2.5GT]

Looking good my man :smt023

...now you need to get some window tints! :wink:

[4n70n1n0]

once i get my tax return i"ll see if I can use some of it for some tints. Can't have a good time in my car without'em if you know what I mean :wink:

[Reason]

dude get read of that wing it looks ridiculous and takes away from the whole look of the car....there's a reason Subaru never put that big of a wing on any of the legacy's

Yea because we all know Subaru makes GREAT design choices :roll:

I'm on the fence with the wing. I would have to see it in person. Those rims look great on BD's don't get upset if I end up with the same ones. I actually fell in love with them when I seen Rouges BD with the bronze ones.

[4n70n1n0]

Don't worry you'll fall of that fence once you see it in person.

Yea, I love torques. I've been thinking about getting a set like these since I was looking even to buy my BD.

Side_Note: Even if you get them in GOLD, it won't be the same gold as mine :smt016 :smt016 :smt016 :grin:

[Reason]

Side_Note: Even if you get them in GOLD, it won't be the same gold as mine :smt016 :smt016 :smt016 :grin:

I'm not a fan of gold, yellow or white rims. I'm leaning towards the hyper black MAYBE bronze.

[peugoby]

Overall the car looks pretty good.
Here is how I think it could look a lotbetter:

Obviously paint the wing to match
Raise the back end about a half inch - some noticeable ass sag
clean & wax - paint looks pretty tired
remove the touge & NA stickers, those really don't add anything but ricer attention

If you did all this the car would look really really sweet, again its almost there. I like the wheels.

[2.5GT]

If you go 1/2'' spacers, you will need to extend the studs. I just installed 1/4" spacers and there's enough threads left to tighten the nuts down.

[WinterKnoll]

Yea because we all know Subaru makes GREAT design choices :roll:


LOL +1 million...

I like the wing, but I would like it a lot more if it were color matched I think. Rims look fantastic and gold + green go very nicely.

[4n70n1n0]

I like my stickers
Im going to remove a few that were there to cover a few imperfections, but the Touge and the N/Aontherun are there and going to stay.

I run on the local touge and I wear he N/Aontherun like superman wears his \S/

The rear doesn't sag. The wheel wells are different. The rear is lower the the front making my drop look saggy. Reason and everyone that was at the meet back in June 08 (i think) can testify. Pictures don't do my car justice. The one person that can really tell you how exactly how my car looks like in person is Heresmymind

I don't care if the paint on my car is dull or has no shine.

ppl quit hatin cuz you can't rock this :grin:

[Reason]

Yea with these it just APPEARS to look lower in the back. We've had discussions on here and NASIOC about this. At the time when I had my GT and I took measurements and the front and rear was pretty dead on (can't remember the numbers) but the rear wheel well is lower than the front. I'm sure it's for aerodynamics and turning of the front wheels.

[2.5GT]

I say you need more stickers...you can't compete with me :lol:

The funniest part of this comment is that I went autoX'in yesterday and I ran better times then a few WRX's and Sti's. All of us were in Rookie Street Touring and at the end of the day I was asked by two people. If my car was turbo and I was extremely happy to reply no. Sadly, he was trying to make himself feel better because he has an sti, but i think that made him feel worse. He's a cool guy and he was only slower because he hit a cone. Otherwise he was just as fast as I ^__^

Wish we could have a sl-i meet at an autoX. That would be kick ass

[Huffer]

Turbo cars are actually hard to control during a tight autox course - if the boost isn't ready the car falls flat on it's face and you have to change gears. NA cars are easier for the novices because you can manage the powerband a lot more.

[4n70n1n0]

yea, I figure it was something like that, but the experienced WRX's and Sti were cutting times that were like 7 seconds faster then mine. They are crazy fast and the EVO's are the DEVIL!

But this course was LAUNCH, Shift into 2nd, and it was throttle and braking there after. Doesn't matter how this course was. All I know is that it was FUN!!!

[Kansei]

wanna sell the wing?

[4n70n1n0]

Went to DynoDay at ECS yesterday

130WHP and 131 Trq

Once I get the graph I'll post it. I think I would have done better if I had a clean air filter and fixed my little exhaust leak

Hey but Im happy and surprised at how well she did ^__^

[Reason]

That's awesome Ant, for some reason I missed Paul and Alexs PM's on CTSubie and didnt think I was going to be able to go. I wanted to dyno my car to see if I broke 100whp lol

[4n70n1n0]

Yea it was a pretty chill time there. cars, dyno, food and chill ppl. Good times

Here's the graph, this one is only for my first pull - 128whp and 129 trq, but on my 3rd pull we got 130whp and 131 trq

**EDIT
Fixed graph I hope and fixed it on the post #1 on page #1

[Reason]

No image

[eekay]

+1 I'd like to see the graph.

Also not sure how I feel about the flat black. The solid green gave it a much more of a sleeper-ish look than the black. If anything, the black completely ghetto-rices the car out. If you're going to go flat black, just paint the entire car flat black and leave the gold wheels. :) THAT would be awesome. All that aside, the car is excellent. Love it.

[Huffer]

I'd continue that flatblack from the hood to the trunk lid - go over the roof and down each pillar to the window line. Kinda SVX'ish.

[MarkSubi]

damn thats a sexy leggy.

I like the flat black hood has been something that my group of friends and I have been doing for some time now and just recently we've added the flat trunk. I would love to rock carbon fiber hood and trunk but I don't have that kind of cash.

I have mixed feelings bout the whole car being flat black

This is the most secure way I could mount it. I thought bout cutting the GT lip off, but If I ever got tired of this lip. I'd be stuck with a FUGLY GT bumper. I know it doesn't line up, but at least its a lip and it was 60 bux. If I had the money I would def. get a greddy lip, but I just don't have that kinda cash to spend on a lip. I'm not in anyway crackin on ur lip in any way dude. I love the greddy lip and ur car.

Tails are not Led's. Its electrical rats. I have an electrical problem. I think its grounding problem, but it has not kept my car from running Im tired of chasin after it for now.

I know the slant is big, but its what I get for putting a honda lip on a subaru :smt016 It fits nicer on a 3rd gen, but at least its a lip and cheap option for us the 2nd gen. I think of it as lighting the creative flame for us 2nd gen drivers. :smt023

Sorry dude, almost missed your post

No where near a direct fit. Its a lip for a 98 Integra Type R. As you can see from the posts above, yes there is a big slant on the lip. I just bolted the side of the lip to the bumper and then I put about 3 to 4 other screws under to secure the lip. I def. have some work to do to get it to fit nicer, but will come with time :smt023

Good luck

[Huffer]

Trim the middle section of the lip and it might slide over the lower BD lip.

I like the lip but it does need a bit more work on the fitting, you could try to use a metal bracket to drop the mounting poing on the ends of the bumper, if you have hella horns you could use those spacers that in that kit.

I dont see anything wrong with the lip, the ends just need to be dropped its level, I had a similar problem on my old celica.

You hit the bullseye. Ima going to fab some brakets to fiz the slant

[Bd4mp-dub]

that lip is really cool i think. how do u have it on there tho. it doesnt look very sturdy tho.

[4n70n1n0]

I used 2(2 on each side) screws on the back side of bumper where a lip would bolt on, 1 screw(1 on each side) on the side of the lip onto the bumper and one under the lip onto the bumper lip. I've scraped her bad and its yet to move

[Bd4mp-dub]

sounds pretyy secure. im interested in seeing wut u r going to fab up for the slant. i think i migt have to bite off u and put one on my BD haha

Type R lip is GONE! It broke even more on the places that I bolted it and lets just say. The lip didn't like how I drove into parking lots or the fact that it was a plow in the snow. lol

Let us know how those cams do for ya! Are those different from the ej25D cams? How much were they together? I know I am a PIA, but I just gotta know! :grin:

Those are only for the EJ22. The EJ25D has 4 cams since its DOHC.

Delta does cam regrinds for about 100 bux each cam

Yea I realize that there are 4 cams in the DOHC, I just was wondering if you were fitting these for the EJ251 or just putting them in the ej22 heads. I guess I need to read your posts better.

I'm one step closer in my franken motor build

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/

I got the block now

I found a local guy that was selling two EJ251's for cheap, but you had to take'em both

So I bought'em both

One has a good bottom end, but bad heads. Which is the I'll be using for the build

The other had a bad bottom end and good heads, which I will be parting out for cheap soon

I've got the EJ22 heads, Delta Cams, EJ251 Block. Now I just need to do the work :grin:

I'm hoping for it to be running and tuned by Dec.2010 and hopefully owning a different car to daily. I feel that this motor is too much of a X factor for me to daily it. So once this baby goes in, I'll need to have a different car to daily and this car will be AutoX and Track use only.

Look out for the exterior to get some changes too in the down force area.

Nice on the progress!

The one with the bad bottom end, does it just have a knock or did a connecting rod go?

[Huffer]

Nice! Looks like 2010 might be the year of the "cam" for a lot of us. ;)

I hope Delta cut you a deal... did you mention you're from SL-i?

I don't know. The person I bought them from was going to merch both motors into one good EJ251, but then he sold his subaru. So that's why he had to get rid of them. I won't know until I crack'em open(not literally)

2010 looks like a crazy year all around. It's awesome.

I got on the Holiday special they had over at RS25. It was a uber sweet deal. They know I'm on both forums and everything that is going on with my build.

hey how do have those side markers hooked up. r u timing it jus rite with the camera or do they stay on with the driving lights? iv been wondering my self witch way to hook'm up.

[eekay]

Wire them up so they're always on (using the city light wires.) That looks the best. :)

My old car :( i miss this car so much

My current LGT is just sittng in the storage unit collecting dust and spiders and stuff(parts inside)

so many plans no money, shit not even money to get her back on the road(timing belt and water pump). She runs but dn't know when the T-belt was done last so dont want to be driving around with a ticking time bomb.

One day I'll do it and one day I'll make a new MR thread for the new one
